Wii only. It makes more sense for me to spend money buying games, rather than (additional) new hardware. Plus I only have so much time for gaming.

When the 360 gets cheap enough (i.e. around $200AU or so), I will probably pick one up - and borrow a bunch of games from friends to play.

(I ended up with a XBOX for $50AU, and never even turned it on...)

Yea im about ready to pull out the bat on their asses, but even then they wont tell me where it is!

Danmit!



                 With regard to Call of Duty 4 having an ultra short single player campaign, I guess it may well have been due to the size limitations of DVD on the XBox 360, one of various limitations multi-platform game designers will have to take into consideration-Mike B

Bet with Harvey Birdman that Lost Odyssey will sell more then Blue dragon did.

I have all three, haven't played the wii since Twilight Princess and my 360 has not been touched in a long time(saving it up for Halo 3, No red ring) and i've been playing the PS3 the most just because of Warhawk.

Ignoring the fact thet they are no longer "Next Gen" but "This Gen", I have a Wii and only a Wii. If I had to pick a second... I'd pick 360, but, instead, I will just buy more Wii games (there are still many on the shelves that I wish to have) AND, All of the "360 Exclusives" always come to PC within 6 months, and I prefer a mouse for FPS's over Analog sticks personally, AND I CAN USE A WiiMote ON MY PC!!! So, I would probably buy some more RAM (1 GB and 128 MB to be exact), A NVIDIA Graphics card, and borrow Vista from my friend before I would buy a 360.

I have a PS3. I'm more tempted to get a 360 than the wii, I'm not into casual gaming.

@L.C.E.L Uhm Gears of war did not released within 6 months ^__^'' but you right for the most games if you mean the shooters/FPS exlusives.

I only have a Wii. It has the most games I want and thus obviously the best games per dollar ratio for me. I was thinking about getting a 360 but I'm beginning to lean towards sticking with my PC (it's a laptop so I can play it out of the house also). Most of the 360 games I want will be on the PC at some point so no real reason spend $500 or so on it. This is expecially since I don't have enough time to divide between 2 home gaming platforms at the same time anymore.
